Peter W. Dillingham, Research Scientist

Current Research Interests

Peter develops statistical methods applied to ecological and environmental studies. His primary research focus is developing methods for setting take limits of data-deficient marine megafauna such as seabirds, sea turtles, marine mammals, and sharks. This work uses population modelling techniques and computational simulation to develop simple decision rules that can be easily applied to a variety of species. Other research interests include estimation of demographic parameters, modelling the calibration and response of environmental sensors, integrated modelling of multiple data sources, and multi-model inference.
